And I really wish I had introduced myself instead of awkwardly smiling and saying I wasn’t Ronnie. You were stunning. I feel like I missed out. —Someone Who Wishes He Had Spoken Up

I mentioned I’m a social freak but I am an adult.I don’t understand why “adults” don’t just say what they are thinking (with out being mean). If I have feelings for someone I tell that person..I may get laughed at but I do wear “big girl bloomers” so I can handle being laughed at.
Boru, with all due respect, you get worked up over ‘dislikes’ :S
I normally don’t care what people think of me but when it comes to telling a beautiful woman that I think they’re beautiful, that’s not always as easy.
Hoist Some guys don’t have a problem telling a woman she’s pretty, but the same guy can find it difficult to tell that same woman that he has feelings for her. That I find hard to understand. 😛
Tis the ole crippling fear of rejection. That same guy might have no problem wrestling a bear and an alligator at the same time, whilst dismantling a bomb on the wing of a fighter jet that is locked in combat with the Russians…but when it comes to maybe not being good enough for someone that he really likes? Fuggidaboudit.
rejection? heck, i think men could handle simple rejection, it’s the bloody laughter that terrifies them.
if all women could make a solemn vow to never, ever ever laugh at some guy who asks them to dance, or go to a movie, and if they could double vow to never ever ever stand in a clutch of other women and look at some guy and point and laugh and whisper we may be able to get some civility and honesty in the dance between the sexes.
‘a course, this is for nice men. the other 30 percent should just be shot. there. i fixed it.
Maybe she thinks you look very presidential or maybe like a clown. Either way, you’ll have to address the Ronnie thing. Unless, of course, she thinks you look like a pornstar ; )
Some females are just plain BITCHES and full of themselves bordering on the narcissistic.;to treat a man in that manner ….Some guy’s must have other reasons besides, “not being good enough” for not telling a woman he likes how he feels about her.For sure, fear of being laughed at and loosing is pride isn’t always the excuse.
Hoist a lot of women got hot and bothered by Sean Connery as 007..mind you I read he’s a wife beater(not the armless t-shirt). I do think it sweet that a MANLY MAN would be so emotionally boyish or immature.
Reg Unless Ronnie ISN’T hung like a pornstar .
*sleeveless t-shirt*..lol
Two “dislikes”? We either have some narcissistic bitches who read this board or two people who are Sean Connery fans. *joking* Well kind of.
I guess I do care too much about what others think of me.

OP Good luck on bumping into her again.A little advice;if your lucky enough to meet her again,tell her what your thinking.You might not get a third chance to do so.
Boru, this is the internet. If you take any of this seriously, especially “dislikes”, you’re wasting your life. Just post, and stop looking for approval from strangers/anonymous people on the web. You’ll drive yourself nuts, and is giving your power away.
p
p Yes I know your right.It’s a hard to break free from a life time of searching for approval from those I care for.I’m closer to the end of my long search than I was.
My “power” is in my heart and that belongs to a person I haven’t spoken with in a long
while. ;P 🙂
Thank you P I DO APPRECIATE your advice. 🙂
